A Lock Of Goethe's Hair.

In the collection Of the Goethe CARLYLE

episode Of ludicrous interest not altogether
without its pathetic side. II is that in
which Mrs Carlyle, in the year 1929, sent
Goethe lock Of her hair, concerning
which ! am to say" writes Thomas,
that except TO her husband she never
did the like 70 any man. In exchange
she begged for a lock Of Goethe's hair, and
this ''for the heart tina. honestly loves
you" Il, too" wrote the husband,
hope that you viii do so much" Goethe,
who was then in his slst year, found him
self in painful predicament, which he
thus explained: ''The Incompatible lock

A Daring Reporter's Success.

Iknew Of city editor who had pet
bugaboo to scare off flash young applicants
for positions on his staff Whenever one
would present himself the c. E. would as
sign him to write up the "City Hall Gel
lar" About twenty five graduates, each
Of whom was imbued with the idea that he
was an embryo Dickens, were scared away
by that apparently hopeless task. Some
never attempted it, and those who did
were unable to pass the Waterman who
guarded entrance 10 the mysterious place
and never permitted strangers to pass.
One day commonplace looking young
man came along and made the usual APP
plcation. He was not college bred, and
it was supposed that the bugaboo would
scare the repOrtOrial idea out Of him in
stanter, In about an hour after he had
been given an assignment he returned and
wrote quite an interesting article upon
the appearance Of the cellar, the manner
in which it was being utilized, and what
use its various compartments would be
put to in the future. When asked how
he got into the cellar he replied: II low
cred myself down through coal hole by
means of rope and bribed the engineer
to show me around for q couple Of good
cigars. The young man was engaged
Immediately, and is a reporter on prom
inent daily paper in this city to-day The
city editor had TO secure new bugabOo,
and has never quite forgiven the young
man for despoling him OF his pet scare

ana embraced you, holding you to his
heart so long, 50 tenderly. All, well
saw you; I was there, hidden in
the bushes, and / was seized with q
fierce rage. No. said to myself: he
shall never marry, neither Suzanne, nv
sister, nor any one else. l should be too
miserabler and suddenly began to hate
him-to hate him with terrible hate.
''Once," continued Marguerite, draw
ing her breath in short, quick gasps, Il
had seen the gardener preparing what he
told me were bullets for stray dogs that
came about the chateau at night and dam
aged his plants They were simply little
balls Of meat, mixed with glass, the frag-
ments Of an old bottle pulverized to .
powder.
II, too had an old bottle that came
from the druggists, and, crushing it with
hammer, / concealed the glittering par
ticles in the pocket Of my dress.
1.-The next day, when you made as
usual Henri's little plate Of cakes, man
aged, without your seeing me, to break
them open ard sprinkle them with the
pounded glass: Henri ate several of
them; l ate one; the rest threw away.
/, though always suffering, escaped with
my life. Henri died.
''Ah, my sister, my sister, how I have
suffered What agonies of pain, what
torments OF renorse! But l will never
leave Suzanne said to myself. I will
wait on her, / will love her, and on my
dying bed will tell her all. This mo-
ment has been always before me. Morn
ng and night have thought Of the time
when must tell you this terrible secret
of the time, when dead, would have to
meet him. Pardon me, Suzanne, pardon
me, l beseech you. Beg her, Mons. le
Cure, beg her to say that she pardons me.
cannot, dare not die without itr'
Marguerite was silent; she could speak
no more, bnt lay with her eyes upon her
sisters face, the wasted fingers picking
and scratching at the sheets
Suzanne did not move; like figure Of
stone she sat with her head bowed upon
her breast; the face Of the man she loved,
the happy days that might have been
spent with him, rising before her in a sad
review. And these memories of the cher
ished dead, how they tore her tortured
heart
Suddenly the old cure started to his
feet. ''Mlle. Suzanne said he in a voice
strong and vibrating, your sister is
dying; is she to go without the mercy
which God himself has not refused hers'
For moment Suzanne hesitated: then
throwing herself upon her knees beside
the couch Of Marguerite, she clasped her
in her arms, murmuring between passion
ate kisses:
81 pardon thee, my little one; with all
my heart pardon thee!''-Translated for

Both papers are apparently prosperous,

should have no cOuntenance from the
press of the State, and tire next meet
ing Of the State Press Association
should deal with such anomalous pro-
ceedings in the same fashion as the

No single il .u:."n contributes so
much to the q nt'dl welfare, gratis, as
the local paper. AND when its editorial
and local columns are thus donated, it
certainly ought to be compensated for
its advertising space. Any temporary
advantage de- we'd from the title of
